Connect RAID controller to four SATA drives

This Xelite Mini SAS HD breakout cable links a 12 Gbps host bus adapter or RAID controller with an SFF-8643 connector to four discrete SATA drives. The 1.6ft cable provides internal connectivity for direct attached storage devices using standard SATA plugs. It suits system builders adding multiple drives to a high density RAID card.

Replaces individual SAS to SATA leads

The hybrid design carries both 3 Gbps and 6 Gbps SATA traffic over a single 36 pin SFF 8643 host connection, easing migration toward a 12 Gbps storage area network. Acetate cloth tape over slim ribbon cables gives strain relief without rigidity, while a woven mesh sheath covers half the length for easier routing. P1 to P4 markers and low profile SATA connectors with stainless steel latches simplify identification and prevent accidental disconnection.

Verify host side uses SFF-8643 before ordering

This cable works only when the Mini SAS SFF-8643 port sits on the motherboard or RAID controller; it will not function if the SFF-8643 connector is on a backplane. Check that your controller presents the correct host side interface and that four SATA power connections are available for the target drives.

Questions about this item

Will the 36-pin SFF-8643 connector fit my RAID controller's internal port?

The cable uses a 36-pin SFF-8643 plug that mates with standard internal Mini SAS HD ports on 12 Gbps host bus adapters or RAID controllers.

Which end do I plug in first, and what is the common mistake?

Connect the single SFF-8643 end to the controller, then attach each of the four 7-pin SATA plugs to the drives; the frequent error is reversing the host and target sides.

When should I replace the acetate cloth tape or woven mesh sheath?

Inspect the strain-relief tape and mesh sheath during any drive swap; replace the cable if the tape is peeling or the sheath shows fraying that exposes the ribbon conductors.
